From the New YORK Tribune
However serious may be their intentions, It L.
nevertheless q fact that hah-dozeD members Of
the New York Yacht Club are actively discussing
the question OF building a yacht 70 defend the
Americas cup against the Thistle. They have
been moved 70 this by spirit Of local pride rather
than ANYTHING else and those who have talked the
most about 1t profess 20 be piqued by the uniform
success Of Boston boats and are DESTROYS OF show
ing what New York can do In the way OF bringing
forth fast angle-stickers. Matters relating TO the
venture have been kept as quiet as possible, In
order that they might not be disclosed In the news
papers until the arrangements have been COM
pleted IL IS understood thaf the club as q body

has offered 20 sell her for the sum IL him 10

chances for her being chosen TO meet the Thistle,
It is not probable that she be sold for anywhere
f.si yachts DO not increase In value In proportion
10 the races they win, and although good record
certainly helps yacht In the market It seldom
makes her worth more than cost, as much as
that. MT. Bush, the owner OF the Coronet, holds
that a yacht which has developed great
speed and good sea Qualities should increase In
on that principle he is trying TO sell his
schooner for nearly three times much as It cost
him 10 build her He forgets, however, that q
trotting horse becomes valuable for breeding pur-
poses whereas yacht eventually becomes merely

good boat OF her kind although not nyer like
